From how many employees do I need work rules (pravilnik o radu)?

From at least 20 workers an employer in Croatia must adopt and publish work rules: pay, organisation of work, protection of workers' dignity, protection from discrimination and other matters, unless a collective agreement covers them. Below 20 it is not mandatory, but those matters must be settled in contracts. Checked by the labour inspection.

Who must?

Employers with 20 or more workers (this card shows from 10 workers, because the number changes fast).

What to do?

1. Count the workers under employment contracts (not freelancers under service contracts).
2. At 20 or more: adopt the work rules, consult the works council if there is one, publish them.
3. Below 20: settle pay, working time and dignity protection in contracts or decisions.

Where to file?

Nothing is filed; the rules are published to the workers.

Who checks?

State Inspectorate (labour inspection)

Fine

The Labour Act prescribes a fine for an employer who does not adopt and publish work rules (art. 26(1)); we are confirming the amount.

We are confirming the amount in the source before we publish it.

What if I am already late?

Adapt a template to your business and publish it on the notice board or intranet.
